So this is an experimental spinning light. I made this as a prototype to see if it would work and what it would look like.
It will keep spinning while it has power, this is done with 4 electromagnets making a sort of rudimentary brush-less motor. Lighting is done with high power 5mm LEDs and power is passed through the rings with brass axles and sprung contacts. It runs fairly quietly and there's only some noise from the pick-ups.
This is a prototype and it takes a long time to build due
